Twin Cities Camarilla courier Cecily Brine has no patience for anyone who violates the rules of the Masquerade. It's what protects her and her kind, after all -- so anyone who steps out of line has to be punished. Meanwhile, in-fighting is creating tension among the vampires in the Masquerade and Cecily gets saddled with an unexpected problem, which could throw her whole world into chaos or even result in her undeath. She sets the scene in Vampire: The Masquerade #1 from Vault Comics, which launches a whole new chapter in the World of Darkness universe.

Written by Tim Seeley, Tini Howard and Blake Howard, with art by Dev Pramanik and Nathan Gooden, colors by Addison Duke, letters by Andworld Design and design by Tim Daniel, Vampire: The Masquerade #1 begins the Winter's Teeth arc with bloodshed -- just as it should.
